Sizzling mobile-application industry ready to hire

Ross Waycaster designed the first of his four mobile apps as a high school senior in Tupelo, Mississippi, a game called Super Marrio Jump that has been downloaded from the Apple store more than 20,000 times, earning him more than $16,000. "I have an entrepreneurial spirit, so we'll see where that takes me," said Waycaster, 21, now a junior at Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi, photographed November 13, 2012.
